Immediate response

Generally a serious exposure refers to a large, single dose received over a short period of time and an immediate response occurs, (acute)... 

The substation provides a monitoring point for system operating parameters. The power system is a highly complex and sensitive conglomeration of parts that must all be coordinated to function properly. For this reason, the operating conditions must be veiy closely obsci vcd and controlled. This is done by using specialized sensors to acquire the intormation and then cominunication systems to convey the information to a central point. For immediate response to system faults (such as damaged conduc-... 

Water is historically thought to be free, and is still so cheap that its wastage is not felt to raise a serious cost. This commonly leads to pointless waste. It is unusual for a works to meter the water usage of different operations on one site, and so the cost of waste is not made clear to those who are immediately responsible for it. Occasional spot estimates of water usage (which may be possible...

Reassess pulmonary function every 20 to 30 minutes. If there was not an immediate response to the inhaled short acting p2-agonist, initiate systemic corticosteroid therapy. If the patient is not improving, add ipratropium to the patient s therapy and continue with a high-dose inhaled short-acting P2-agonist. 

Cytotoxic chemotherapy is eventually required in most patients with metastatic breast cancer. Patients with hormone-receptor-negative tumors require chemotherapy as initial therapy of symptomatic metastases. Patients who respond initially to hormonal manipulations eventually cease to respond and go on to require chemotherapy. The median duration of response is 5 to 12 months, but some patients will have an excellent response to an initial course of chemotherapy and may live 5 to 10 years or longer without evidence of disease. In general, median survival of patients after treatment with commonly used drug combinations for metastatic breast cancer is 14 to 33 months. The median time to response has ranged from 2 to 3 months in most studies, but this period depends in large part on the site of measurable disease. The median time to appearance of response is between 3 and 6 weeks in patients whose disease is primarily in the skin and lymph nodes, 6 to 9 weeks in patients with metastatic lung involvement, 15 weeks in patients with hepatic involvement, and nearly 18 weeks in patients with bone involvement. Thus it is often the case that an immediate response to therapy is not... 

Following the immediate response activities (including release reporting, immediate containment, and monitoring of explosive hazards), the actions that the facility must implement as initial abatement measures include the following ... 

The existential state of being a patient is perhaps an even more immediate domain of the moral. The loss of autonomy, the fear of the unknown, the dissolution of identity accompanying pain in its multifarious forms, the dehumanization of being subjected to the administrative processes of healthcare, and the psychological dependence each of these challenges fosters combine to make the physician the patient s advocate in a different way to the social one described above. Here, individual concerns are paramount, and the most immediate response must be a humane one.

In sensitized asthmatic individuals, antigen challenge generally causes a Type I (IgE-mediated) immediate hypersensitivity response by release of preformed mediators, including histamine, and prostaglandins, which are responsible for bronchoconstric-tion and increased vascular permeability. Between 2 and 8 hours after the immediate response, asthmatics experience a more severe and prolonged (late phase) reaction that is characterized by mucus hyper-secretion, bronchoconstriction, airway hyperresponsiveness to a variety of nonspecific stimuli (e.g., histamine, methacholine), and airway inflammation characterized by eosinophils. This later response is driven by leukotrienes, chemokines and cytokines synthesized by activated mast cells and Th2 cells. Both proteins and haptens have been associated with these types of reactions. 

The introduction of P-parameter as a criterion of structural interactions is based on the assumption that the resulting energy in the system orbital-nucleus, immediately responsible for inter-atomic interactions, can be calculated based on the principle of adding reverse values of some primary atom characteristics in initial state [8], In this model Po-parameter is a tabulated constant spatial-energy characteristics of each orbital of an atom.

Polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFC) deliver high power density, which offers low weight, cost, and volume. The immobilized electrolyte membrane simplifies sealing in the production process, reduces corrosion, and provides for longer cell and stack life. PEFCs operate at low temperature, allowing for faster startups and immediate response to changes in the demand for power. The PEFC system is seen as the system of choice for vehicular power applications, but is also being developed for smaller scale stationary power. For more detailed technical information, there are excellent overviews of the PEFC (1,2). 

Fig. 7. (a) Example chromatin assembly curve recorded at 1.3 pN force applied to the magnetic bead. A magnification of the squared portion of the curve is also presented, (b) Assembly curve of the same DNA molecule, subjected to difference forces in the course of a single assembly round (forces were adjusted by adjusting the distances between the cuvette and the external magnet as indicated). The lines drawn indicate that the assembly rate changes as a function of force. Note the immediate response of the assembly reaction to the changing force. 

An immediate response to dust inhalation is the migration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) across epithelial—endothelial junctions to the alveolar space (see Fig. 3.6). Macrophages release a chemotactic factor that mobilizes and attracts PMNs from the pulmonary blood. However, the initial PMN accumulation clears rapidly. 

Bronchoconstriction is one of the most common immediate responses observed on inhalation of a number of reactive gases. The constriction may be caused by a direct action on the airway smooth muscles or indirectly through the release of histamine and other mediators. 

Improvement ordinarily occurs within the first 4 weeks of administration, although some patients may demonstrate an immediate response. Efficacy is manifested by a decrease in the severity of clinical symptoms, or the need for concomitant therapy, or both. 

The concentrations of phenolic and polyphenollc allelochemlcals that inhibited the various reactions of Isolated chloroplasts and mitochondria have been reported to occur, either singularly or in combination, in organic litter ( ). The studies conducted herein were short-term, on the order of several minutes, in which immediate responses were measured. Preincubation of the allelochemlcals with the test systems could be expected to lower the concentrations required to produce inhibition.
